  • Forest Fires and Their Causes in the Czech Republic (1992–2004)
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 59, 2013 (2): 41–53 Forest fires and their causes in the Czech Republic (1992–2004) E. Kula, Z. Jankovská Department of Forest Protection and Game Management, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Mendel University in Brno, Brno, Czech Republic ABSTraCT: Forest fires under conditions of the Czech Republic are evaluated from the aspect of their frequency of occurrence in 1992–2004 at a level of particular years, seasons, days and daytime, and causes of their origin. They are confronted with a situation in the CR in 1974–1983. Effects of climatic conditions are a limiting factor not only for the frequency of their origin but also for the size of the burnt area. Spring (April) and summer (August) culminations were balanced. The burnt area of the best part of forest fires (88.9%) was < 1 ha. The increased frequency of forest fires was noted in afternoon hours and during weekends. Areas threatened by fires are characterized by the increased visit number. In the spectrum of causes, a dominant position is taken up by fire raising, smoking and management in the forest. Railway operation and lightning represent minority causes of the origin of forest fires. In the course of the year, the structure of forest fire origin changes depending on activities in the forest and visit number.

  • Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R
    STUDIA FORESTALIA SUECICA NR 39 1966 Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. An Analysis of Soviet Competitive Potentialities Skogsekonomi i Sovjet~rnionen rned en unalys av landets potentiella konkurrenskraft by KARL VIICTOR ALGTTERE SICOGSH~GSICOLAN ROYAL COLLEGE OF FORESTRY STOCKHOLM Lord Keynes on the role of the economist: "He must study the present in the light of the past for the purpose of the future." Printed in Sweden by ESSELTE AB STOCKHOLM Foreword Forest Economy in the U.S.S.R. is a special study of the forestry sector of the Soviet economy. As such it makes a further contribution to the studies undertaken in recent years to elucidate the means and ends in Soviet planning; also it attempts to assess the competitive potentialities of the U.S.S.R. in international trade. Soviet studies now command a very great interest and are being undertaken at some twenty universities and research institutes mainly in the United States, the United Kingdoin and the German Federal Republic. However, it would seem that the study of the development of the forestry sector has riot received the detailed attention given to other fields. In any case, there have not been any analytical studies published to date elucidating fully the connection between forestry and the forest industries and the integration of both in the economy as a whole. Studies of specific sections have appeared from time to time, but I have no knowledge of any previous study which gives a complete picture of the Soviet forest economy and which could faci- litate the marketing policies of the western world, being undertaken at any university or college.

  • Number 65 a Polish Anniversary
    Eastern Star Journal of the New Europe Railway Heritage Trust, helping railway preservation in the New Europe March 2017 Number 65 A Polish Anniversary The Bieszcady Forest Railway celebrates its 20th anniversary Bieszcady Railway train of semi-open carriages created from bogie-bolster freight wagons Photo Andrew Goltz On1st/2nd October 2016 NEHRT member Nick Fletcher (based in Warsaw) together with Andrew Goltz and Andrew's son Conrad, paid a visit to two interesting Polish narrow gauge lines in the Carpathian mountains: the Bieszczady Forest Railway and the Przeworsk Railway. The occasion for the trip was the 20th anniversary of the Bieszczady Forest Railway foundation that now runs the former line. Nick writes: The Bieszczady Forest Railway is located in the south-east corner of Poland near to the Slovakian frontier. It is a 750 mm former logging railway running for 21 km through the scenic Bieszczady mountain region. It has now established itself as an extremely successful tourist attraction taking advantage of the popularity of the Bieszczady as a tourist destination. It runs a daily service during the summer holidays and a twice-a-week service during the winter. The line was originally built in 1890-1893 as a 760 mm line when the Bieszczady region was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. The two world wars wreaked havoc and destruction on the line. In the 1950s, the railway was rebuilt as a 750 mm line with much of its main line re-routed onto a new alignment with easier gradients. At its peak, the total length of the line (main line and branches) was 104 km.
